This year marks the 11th BlizzCon hosted by Blizzard
Entertainment. This conference is the source of major news
and announcements from the company, including new games,
expansions, and other important content additions and updates.

The Opening Ceremony serves as a teaser for things to come
during the Con, with each game typically receiving a "what's next"
as well as a "deep dive" with attached Q&A. The deep dive is a
more in-depth look at particular upcoming features.

Below is the schedule for upcoming content related to Heroes
of the Storm. Check back at this blog during and after the
listed times to find out what was covered, and be sure to check out
the remainder of the wiki for updates!

With the upcoming introduction of Junkrat to Heroes of the
Storm, there comes a host of new skins for a handful of heroes.
Many of these are for the upcoming Hallow's End event, but there
are some additions to skin sets we're already familiar with.

Below you can find a gallery of new skins being added to the
Nexus, sorted by shard price point.

With the upcoming introduction of Ana to Heroes of the
Storm, there comes a host of new skins for a handful of heroes.
Even though we were treated to a tease of a Deathwing-themed skin
for D.Va, it doesn't look like that particular one will be
available with the patch that introduces Ana; of course, Junkrat
still has yet to be added, so hopefully his patch will bring that
skin.

If you’ve touched a controller/keyboard in the last 5 years,
you’ve got an idea of what eSports is. People playing competitively
for big bucks, occasionally in matching track suits. But there’s a
lot more to it than that, don’t know the difference between ESL and
FGC? Cloud9 and Day[9]? Fret not! Wikia and their panel of pros are
here to answer your questions.

Wikia is hosting a panel at this year’s PAX Prime, entitled What
the Heck is eSports with the help of industry pros such as:

On Saturday, June 6th, we were treated to first-hand access to
The Mayhem Begins, a livestream event hosted by YouTube
featuring epic battles and announcements of yet-to-be-released
content (which Hawki and Monsieur Xanadu have already dutifully
been updating here). Unlike the folks hosting the event, we'll
actually start with the new content!

If you don't know, Cloud9 is a team of professional gamers that
managed to obliterate their competition in the world finals. They
aren't to be taken lightly by any stretch. In our other corner we
had UC Berkeley, the winners of the Heroes of the Dorm
competition that recently took place. One might think that, given
the fact the latter actually have to go to school, the pro gamers
would effectively steam…

So, I was derping around Youtube, looking for some stuff to do, and
i came across this channel called Sicksen. He posts great HotS
content, even has an interview with Dustin Browder. You guys might
have already seen them, but they're new to me. And i decided to
write a post about everything new i learnt while watching (and
that's saying a lot; i try to dig up every little bit of info i can
on HotS)

Ready?

Pls keep in mind that these info are ones that previously was
unknown to me, or useful enough to put in. And most of you probably
seen these videos already. Just thought i'd be nice enough to keep
them in a nice orderly fashion

Hello everybody! My name is Alayakin, and I would love to
contribute a lot to this Wiki. And before i do that i want to
introduce myself.

I am a 15 year old geek that lives in France. I am Korean, and i
speak English and Chinese naturally. How do i know that? PM and
i'll explain :D

Anyway, I have tons of new pictures and stuff that i can put
into this wiki. Hopefully my activeties will be noticed by the
admins (who are they, BTW?) and I might become one too!

Anyway, I'm going to start from now. If any of you have any
questions feel free to ask them; i literally read, watched, and
listened to all the HotS sources i could find, so any questions
about the game and i'll respond the best i can, whether it's about
my life or how queuing up will be…

While attending BlizzCon 2013, a few of us had the unique
opportunity to talk with Richard Khoo, Senior Game Designer (hero,
battlegrounds, and talents), and Bob Colayco, of Heroes of the
Storm. Below you'll find the transcript of the interview led by
myself Raylan13 and Miguel (Wikia staff).

Raylan13 (R): A lot of people
are going to be comparing this to League of Legends. What's the
takeaway you want an LoL player to know who is also a fan of
Wracraft, StarCraft, or Diablo?

Richard Khoo (RK): If
they're a fan of Warcraft, Starcraft, or Diablo, the great thing is
that we're drawing from lore that Blizzard has been working with
for the past 22 years. I can play as Arthas and fight against
Kerrigan, and to mix and match the fights like that is…
